The Let's Play Archive

Adverts by Project Wonderful

Hey, adverts can be pretty annoying, right? I know how it is; I don't like it when I'm browsing a site and I accidentally trigger an awful flash ad where a big, freakish iPhone starts singing at me. That's why here on the Let's Play Archive we'll only ever serve up nice banners that behave properly.

The Archive is a personally-funded hobby, and without donation/advert revenue we won't be able to keep it going. Please, if you enjoy the site, consider adding us to your AdBlock whitelist—it really does make a difference.

Part 46: Fall 1968: Pre-Vote

I'm pretty sure Sabotage is not what you guys wanted to see right now, and that's a pretty heavy hit. Paying for it will leave you with 87 MB, I believe. Just enough for your launches, but not enough to do any Kicker research. Since this is a fairly major decision, I'd think you guys would want to discuss it.

I believe you guys were slightly ahead before the Lunar Pass the Soviet Union pulled out of its ass, unfortunately the 4 man capsule is worth a ridiculous amount of prestige, so that's shot them way ahead.

This here, of course, is another thing that might be worth considering... but anyways, you've got either 102 or 87 MB to work with, depending on if you want to fix that sabotage or not.

Gemini Capsule
Unit Cost: 6
R&D Cost Per Team: 2
Unit Weight: 1200
Current Safety: 94%
Max R&D: 84%
Max Safety: 94%
Other Notes: Two man capsule. Can make it to the moon with a kicker and also dock. Can use a 1 man LM.

Docking Module
Unit Cost: 2
Unit Weight: 300
Current Safety: 90%
Max R&D: NOT POSSIBLE
Max Safety: 93%
Other Notes: The only thing that CANNOT be researched. All safety improvement comes from live testing. Required for most of the Lunar Landing mission types.

Looks like this race is going to be a bit closer than... well, probably anyone really expected after my critical research failure into planning. The Lady apparently favors red in this alternate history.
